Achieving CCSD and CKA Certifications with Yayasan Peneraju
I am thrilled to share a personal milestone that I recently achieved—earning two professional certifications, the CCSD – CERTIFIED DEVOPS FOUNDATION and the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA), with the support of Yayasan Peneraju. This journey was filled with challenges, learning experiences, and moments of growth to advance in my tech careers. As someone who is passionate about cloud computing, DevOps, and security, I wanted to strengthen my expertise in container security and Kubernetes administration. These two certifications align perfectly with my career goals, helping me build a strong foundation in managing containerized applications securely and efficiently. Yayasan Peneraju played a significant role in my certification journey. Through their program, I had access to: ✅ Structured training and guidance from experienced mentors ✅ Financial support for exam fees ✅ A community of like-minded individuals who were also pursuing the same goals Their initiative to support Malaysians in upskilling and obtaining industry-relevant certifications provided me with the resources and motivation to push forward. To be honest, it was not easy to get these certifications because it required sacrifice—giving up something to gain something greater. My schedule was packed, full-time working, fitness, and study. During the day, from 9 AM to 6 PM, I was fully engaged in work, using my brain to resolve clients’ issues. After work, I would rush to the gym from 7 PM to 8 PM, followed by Maghrib prayer. Then, at 8:30 PM to 10:30 PM, I attended classes every weekday, from Monday to Friday. Imagine the exhaustion! The mental and physical toll was immense, but I pushed through, knowing that the reward at the end would be worth it.
Itinerari Trip Bercuti Ke Korea (Seoul & Busan) Tahun 2023
Hasrat untuk pergi ke Korea ni memang dah lama. Dari zaman aku sekolah rendah lagi tapi dulu takde duit lagi nak berjalan-jalan ke negara orang. Bila dah kerja, buat part time bisnes dan kumpul duit sikit demi sikit, akhiranya berjaya juga sampai ke tempat idaman. Sebenarnya, aku takde la terfikir nak bercuti ke Korea waktu 2023 tapi disebabkan AirAsia ada buat promosi tiket penerbangan ke Busan hanya RM500 lebih, jadinya aku pun decide untuk beli tiket flight serta merta. Untuk trip ke Korea ni, total hari adalah 8 hari 7 malam. Ini adalah pertama kali aku melancong ke luar negara. Jadinya, memang banyak preparation yang aku sediakan. Terutamanya dokumen-dokumen penting, itinerari dan sebagainya. Perkara penting yang perlu korang tahu sebelum bercuti ke Korea 1. K-ETA K-ETA (Korea Electronic Travel Authorisation) adalah kebenaran perjalanan elektronik dalam talian yang perlu diperoleh pelawat asing tanpa visa sebelum memasuki Republik Korea untuk pelancongan dan sebagainya. Korang boleh apply dekat website www.k-eta.go.kr. Untuk apply K-ETA ni, perlu ikut langkah-langkah yang betul dan tiada salah. Nanti korang kena upload gambar passport. Ukuran gambar perlu ikut standard visa photo. Kalau nak betul-betul ikut size, boleh apply dekat website Visa Photo. Pastikan nombor passport yang diletakkan dalam K-ETA adalah sama. Kalau korang ada renew passport, jangan lupa update nombor passport baru dalam K-ETA. Sebab haritu ada kes dimana Malaysian tourist dihantar pulang ke Malaysia disebabkan nombor passport tak valid. Lepas korang apply, dalam 1-2 hari akan dapat email result seperti di bawah. 2. Internet Mobile Sim/Wifi Untuk internet, korang boleh pilih sama ada nak guna sim mobile atau wifi je. Waktu aku pergi korea ni, aku sewa pocket wifi. Cumanya, aku takde la sarankan sangat sewa pocket wifi ni sebab renyah! Nak kena caj. Lepastu, kalau korang berkongsi wifi, kena make sure jalan together dan tak boleh berpisah. That’s why aku subscribe juga data roaming Yodoo. Rate data roaming pun okey je. 1-day pass RM5. Kalau 15-day Pass RM60. Pocket wifi ni korang boleh pickup dekat airport je. Nanti akan ada counter untuk claim. Harga pocket wifi lebih kurang <RM100. 3. Navigation Maps Sila la download Naver Maps. Paling mudah untuk navigate korang ke mana-mana. Dah siap-siap tunjuk juga stesen bas, nombor bas dan sebagainya. Kalau tak faham hangul, jangan risau pun sebab ada English. Dia akan tunjuk real time STOP station. Kadang-kadang, dalam bas tu kita tak dengar sangat atau tak berapa nak catch-up bahasa Korea bila dorang bagitahu stop dekat mana. So, korang tengok je la Maps tu untuk real time perjalanan supaya tak tersalah berhenti station. Tapi kalau tersalah pun, jangan risau or panik sebab…. availability public transport dekat sana sangat banyak. Total Kos Perbelanjaan Trip aku ke Korea ni adalah sendirian berhad dan tidak menggunakan mana-mana agensi. Malas nak guna agensi sebab nak bebas kemana-mana sahaja. Ada beberapa tempat yang aku nak pergi especially tempat-tempat dalam drama Korea. Selain daripada tu sebab nak jimat cost perbelanjaan. Total cost RM3,511.61 Cost ni tak termasuk duit belanja ye. Duit belanja tu, pandai-pandai korang la nak bajet berapa. Aku haritu tukar mata wang 1,000,000KRW bersamaan RM3500. Aku takde la suka shopping sangat dan tujuan trip ni pun sebab nak tengok culture Korea dan menikmati pemandangan. Kebanyakkan belanja ni aku habiskan makan je. Sebab datang jauh-jauh, takkan nak makan menda simple. Itinerary Trip Di Korea Aku dah susun Itinerary dengan rapi dalam bentuk PDF. Senang nak rujuk dan baca. Itinerary ni sesuai untuk first time trip. Dalam Itinerary ni dah termasuk lokasi-lokasi yang dipilih memang tempat-tempat tarikan, tempat makanan halal dan sebagainya. Boleh la rujuk ya 🙂
Dream Come True: Jumpa TXT in Person!
Hi! Aku baru teringat nak tulis one of my best memories tahun ni. Aku jumpa TXT! Tak ku sangka-sangka dapat jumpa someone in real life yang aku selalu tengok dalam YouTube! Event: TOMORROW X TOGETHER WORLD TOUR <ACT : PROMISE> IN SINGAPORE The Day Aku pergi ke Singapore ni by bus. Rombongan dengan Malaysia’s MOA (fandom TXT). Organized by ppulbas. Thank you so much dekat organizer sebab aku tak perlu habiskan banyak duit untuk transporation dan perjalanan smooth je. Total RM150 je. Waktu hari kejadian, aku bangun dalam pukul 4AM untuk bersiap-siap sebab berkumpul di TBS pukul 7AM. Gerak dari Vista Alam, one of my office colleague, Kak Yah tolong hantar kan. Thank you so much sebab sanggup hantar kan awal-awal pagi 💗🙆 Sampai je ke TBS, my buddyz trip pergi solat dulu then kami claim freebies from ppulbas. Dapat la air, roti, kipas, keyring untuk alas perut before bus stop dekat RNR. Puku 730AM baru bus bergerak. Duduk pulak sebelah Kak Piqah, Taehyun lover. Actually, this is my first time pergi Singapore. So, agak excited sikit sebab aku wonder juga macam mana building in Singapore. Signboard macam mana, environment macam mana? Sepanjang perjalanan dalam Singapore tu, memang aku menghayati je keindahan di luar sana dari dalam bus sebelum sampai ke Indoor Stadium Singapore 😂 Bila dah sampai stadium, sebagai manusia yang normal, ofcourse we took some pictures! Gambar di concert venue is a must OKEI? Then, dah penat bergambar, kami decide untuk berehat dulu dalam Mall. Makan-makan sikit alas perut sebelum concert start. It’s Concert Time! Concert start 6PM, jadinya dah start masuk ke stadium pukul 430PM. Once masuk je stadium aku macam OMFG! Excited! Dekatnyaaa dengan stage. Waktu ni aku masih rasa unbelievable dapat jumpa TXT in person. Jumpa Yeonjun? Hell yeahh! As usual, once concert start je, aku menjerit macam orang gila pun ada. Tapi, aku takkan attach video dekat sini sebab quality video dalam post blogger agak low. Thank you TXT for coming. Aku sanggup ya pergi Singapore demi concert. Sangat penat pergi one-day trip. Habis concert dalam pukul 1030PM. Then, lepak jap dalam mall alas perut dekat coffee bean. Berkumpul dekat bas pukul 1130PM. Sampai ke TBS dalam pukul 4AM. Bayangkan betapa mengantuk dan penat nya kitaorang 💆 but it is still enjoyableee. Next time, aku takkan pergi one-day trip. Probably akan stay 1 more night then besok nya baru gerak balik.
Trip 4H 3M Medan Danau Toba
Hi Assalamualaikum! Hajat aku dan along nak belanja dan bawa 1 family pergi bercuti di luar dah tercapai. Disebabkan umi dan abah dah penat bekerja bertahun lamanya, jadinya aku nak bawa dorang pergi healing healing la sikit tengok keindahan bumi ni. Nak dijadikan cerita, aku tengah scroll Twitter lepastu ternampak pula ada orang tweet dan share pengalaman dia pergi bercuti. Aku apa lagi, terus la Google Danau Toba, Medan dan cari tempat tu. Memang lawa. Aku dan Along terus cari tarikh yang sesuai dan terus book flight. Contact agent travel untuk lock terus tarikh. Kitaorang pergi waktu cuti public holiday yang panjang (Hari Malaysia/Maulidur Rasul) . Sebab, boleh guna AL sikit tapi holiday lama. Kan dah jimat dekat situ. Untuk post kalini, just nak share sikit la pengalaman, cost dan juga Itinerary Medan-Lake Toba. Kami sekeluarga pergi trip ni melalui Figo Tour and Travel. Serius berbaloi! Dah la murah lepastu servis memang tiptop. Sekepala hanya RM650 je. Asalnya RM600, tapi aku addon another place. Pakej Include : ✅ Hotel 4 Star And 3 Star. ✅ Van/ Bus Full Air Conditioner. ✅ Meal. ☕ 3 Kali Breakfast 🍽 3 Kali Lunch 🍽 3 Kali Dinner ✅ Fery. ✅ Entrance Fee Total Cost RM5,474.87 je untuk 5 orang. Untuk Belanja tu, ikut kepada masing-masing. Aku tukar cash dan juga pakai Wise. Kalau jenis suka travel, better beli Wise. Senang je nak tukar-tukar duit lepas tu charge pun tak tinggi. Percutian ke Medan – Day 1 Departure pukul 1050AM dan sampai ke Kualanamu Airport dalam 1 jam je. Bak kata Adik aku, tak sempat panas punggung pun hahaha. Turun jer flight, tour guide dah tunggu. Handsome yer tour guide kami. So, rasa bersemangat sikit la sepanjang trip tu hahaha. Tour guide bawak kami pergi kedai sim kad dulu dan money changer. 3 simkad dalam 270,000 rupiah. Aku tak beli pun simkad sebab DigiCelcom punya roaming lagi murah. Total cost roaming RM18 je. Then, kami pergi makan dulu di Iga Iga Restoran. Banyak weh lauk dia. Sedap pulak tu. Perut dah kenyang. Kami teruskan perjalanan selama 2 jam ke Danau Toba. Singgah ke Bah Damanik, Kebuh Teh Sidamanik, Kedai Kacang Tumbuk dan Teko Sima Simarjarunjung. Di Teko Sima Simarjarunjung, kami alas perut dulu. Sebelum pergi ke ferry untuk menuju ke Pulau Samosir. Perjalanan atas feri mengambil mas 40 minit. Sampai je di Pulau Samosir, kami pergi makan dulu dan terus check in Samosir Villa Resort. Percutian ke Medan – Day 2 Bangun je pagi untuk pergi breakfast, aku amaze sikit sebab cantik gilaaa sekeliling villa tu. Malam semalam tu tak perasan sebab sampai villa tu pun malas dan dah penat. So, takde rasa nak explore pun malam tu. Dalam perjalanan tu, tour guide stop sekejap dekat jambatan penghubung. Lawa gilaa. I likee (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) Destinasi seterusnya, kami pergi ke Air Terjun Efrata, Bukit Holbung, Air Terjun Sipiso Piso. Tempat-tempat ni mencabar sikit la. Sebab jauh dan juga kena mendaki. Kalau jenis tak biasa jalan bersimpar siur, please sediakan minyak angin, ubat mabuk dan hurix inhaler. Demi melihat pemadangan cantik, pening kepala, muntah-muntah kena letak tepi hahaha. Sebab nak naik gunung ganang ni, memang jalan macam zig zag 💆 Untuk makan tengahari, tour guide bawak kami lunch dekat kedai makan view gunung-ganang Danau Toba. Memang lawaaa sangat. Dah la makanan pun fancy. Bagi kitaorang makan lobster air tawar. Percutian ke Medan – Day 3 Untuk hari ketiga, yang ni relax sikit daripada semalam. Just tengok nice view je. Sambil tengok view, kami minum-minum dulu kopi dekat cafe lavendar berlatarkan view Gunung Sinabung. Kalau la ada dekat Shah Alam, confirm selalu pergi hujung minggu >< Lepas itu, lunch pula nasi ayam penyet. Sumpah aku kabo… ayam penyet dekat Indonesia memang sedap. Ye la, asal ayam penyet pun memang dekat sana kan. Tapi tak sangka la sesedap ini. Must try dish kalau pergi Indonesia. Continue perjalanan ke Air Terjun Sikulikap dan Pasar Buah Brestagi. Percutian ke Medan – Day 4 Hari keempat ni, kitaorang tak pergi kemana-mana. Memang rugi 1 hari… sebab? Waktu ni lah ada event Sukan Indonesia. Semua daerah/negeri datang ke Medan. So, bayangkan lah jalan tutup dan jem teruk. Tour guide pun memang stuck atas jalan. Jokowi pun ada masa ni. Untuk elakkan daripada kami sekeluarga terlepas flight, so better lah kitaorang straight pergi lunch dan terus ke airport. Nak dijadikan cerita, hari keempat ni just di airport Kualanamu sahaja. Hahaha. Kitaorang borong la pulak barang-barang dekat sini. Airport dorang tak macam kita. Dorang banyak kedai-kedai yang martabatkan barang Indonesia. Mana-mana souvenier tu, boleh juga beli kar airport. Waktu ni, kami just wander dan makan-makan je. Itu je la kut pengalaman Trip 4H 3M Medan Danau Toba. Best, berbaloi dan seronok! Rasa nak travel lagi 👀
What Algorithm Does Spotify Use?
What Algorithm Does Spotify Use? Spotify uses a complex algorithm called “Collaborative Filtering” to recommend songs and playlists based on a user’s listening history and preferences. Here’s how it works: User-based Collaborative Filtering This method looks at the listening history of similar users and recommends songs that those users also listened to. For example, if User A and User B have similar listening habits, and User B listens to a song that User A hasn’t heard yet, Spotify may recommend that song to User A. Item-based Collaborative Filtering This method looks at the relationships between songs and recommends songs that are similar to the ones the user has already listened to. For example, if a user frequently listens to songs by a particular artist, Spotify may recommend other songs by that artist, as well as songs by similar artists. Content-based Filtering This method looks at the attributes of a song, such as genre, tempo, and lyrics, and recommends songs that have similar attributes. For example, if a user frequently listens to upbeat pop songs, Spotify may recommend other upbeat pop songs. Deep Learning Spotify also uses deep learning algorithms to analyze the audio features of songs and recommend songs based on a user’s listening history and preferences. This technology allows Spotify to recommend songs that are not necessarily similar to the ones the user has already listened to, but rather have similar audio features that the user enjoys. In summary, Spotify uses a combination of Collaborative Filtering, Content-based Filtering, and Deep Learning algorithms to recommend songs and playlists based on a user’s listening history and preferences. These algorithms help Spotify provide a personalized listening experience for each user.
